Would you be surprised to find that Nuclear Sludge has been found to contain contaminants that "potentially could cause health problems" if consumed? Maybe you should know that Nuclear Sludge is a variety in the Toxic Waste line of candy!

A recent test performed by the California Department of Public Health has indicated that a lot (#8288A) of the cherry flavor of the above-listed product contains elevated levels of lead (0.24 parts per million; the U.S. FDA tolerance is 0.1 ppm) that potentially could cause health problems, particularly for infants, small children, and pregnant women.

Out of an abundance of caution, the company has determined to recall all lots and all flavors of the product distributed from the product's inception in 2007 through January 2011.
